Ernest Ray Arnold was on a hunting trip with friends in late November 2015.

While getting into a vehicle, Arnold grabbed the Remington 700 rifle, which belonged to his buddy, that had the bolt up and muzzle pointed down, the lawsuit says.

As Arnold shifted the rifle from one side to another, it suddenly discharged, striking him in his right leg, which he later had to have removed below the knee.
